DefinitionVector quantity: quantity with a magnitude and a direction. It can be represented by a vector.Examples: displacement, velocity, acceleration.Same displacementDisplacement does not describe the object’s path.Scalar quantity: quantity with magnitude, no direction.Examples: temperature, pressureRules:)1.3()( lawecommutativabba+=+)2.3()()()( laweassociativcbacba++=++II.
